The great gift hunt: earlier every year
If the headline made you flinch, you’re not alone. According to Think with Google, people in Central and Eastern Europe start searching for the perfect Christmas gift right now – in mid-November. The hunt is officially on, and yes, it starts earlier every year.
So this year Terme Čatež wrote a letter to Santa. A short one, because November is his busiest month for post. Just three wishes for the perfect spa break.
Wish no. 1: skin that doesn’t protest in the cold
Cold outside, dry heating inside, an itchy scarf in between. In winter, skin goes on a quiet strike – and it shows. Warm thermal water from 11 springs, the sauna at the Wellness Riviera and a massage at Grand Spa Terme are the most pleasant way to negotiate.
Our simple ritual for cold days: a warm swim first, then the sauna with plenty of water to drink, and after the shower a cream on still-damp skin. Couples can treat themselves with Wellness for couples 365 (from €414).
Wish no. 2: year-round campervan camping and a spa with your dog
A campervan in November? Sounds like an adventure – at Terme Čatež it’s a warm holiday. Camp & Camperstop at Terme Village is open all year, the washrooms are heated and the Winter Thermal Riviera is a short walk away. At the ACSI Awards 2026, campers from all over Europe voted it the campsite with the best swimming pool. Prefer a roof over your head? Choose an apartment or a mobile home – everything is open in winter too. Camping starts at €28, and the Autumn getaway at Terme Village in an apartment or mobile home from €120.
And news for every dog parent: Terme Village now has five Lux Plus**** Pet Friendly apartments where you’re welcome together with your pet. The apartment (47 m²) sleeps up to five and has a terrace with a garden; the pet supplement is €25 per day. Dogs have always been welcome on the campsite pitches. No more searching for a dog sitter.
Wish no. 3: a gift that needs no wrapping
Jumpers stretch, gadgets date, the sixth glass set ends up in a cupboard. A day in thermal water stays in your memory. The Terme Čatež gift voucher takes minutes to buy online – perfect for the mum who “needs nothing” and for anyone who shops on 23 December.
Bargain hunters, hurry: Black Friday runs until 30 November. The Black Friday special offer gives two nights for two at Hotel Terme or Hotel Čatež from €269, and Black Friday – Lux apartments two nights from €219, both with the Thermal Riviera included.
Why now? Because prices are at their best before the holidays. Two nights in Lux apartments cost from €219 in November, while Christmas and New Year packages at Terme Village start at €540. Book now and pay less than half for the same break.
Dear Santa, that’s all. We’ll take care of the rest. Book your spa break.
